Talk on ‘Designing the Metaverse’ within the framework of Mobile Week Barcelona

Date

25 March 2022

How do we construct and explain stories? How do we use technology to improve new realities and formats? How do physical space and the virtual environment coexist? What aspects define good design in virtual worlds?

Our reality is expanding beyond the physical world. Digital transformation has driven an evolution towards virtual environments where we learn, play, have fun, work and socialise in a very different way.

How do we construct and explain stories? How do we use technology to improve new realities and formats? How do physical space and the virtual environment coexist? What aspects define good design in virtual worlds?

On 31 March, IED Barcelona’s Director of Visual Communication and Programme Leader for the Master in Design for Virtual Reality, Mery Glez, along with Cai Felip, CEO of Linking Realities (Union Avatars), will address these questions and more during a talk that forms part of the agenda of Mobile Week Barcelona 2022. 

The 6th edition of this event that connects citizens and technology boasts a wide range of activities taking place between 28 March and 3 April. 

Date: 31 March

Venue: Point Two, IED Barcelona (C/Sant Salvador, 70-72. Barcelona)

Time: 7 pm

Language: EN/SP
